I did not have enough time to grate the carrots and zucchini, and I omitted the fenugreek. I added some &quot;chaat masala&quot; (spicy-tangy spice mix) and water to the paste. My first set of pakoray got burnt, second set looked perfect but had a thin layer of batter uncooked (GROSS).. and third set was finally good. I served them with BBQ ketchup. My family enjoyed them...thank u for posting.Sidranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-68246836375433917382010-03-30T08:26:26.482-07:002010-03-30T08:26:26.482-07:00Hi Dave - thanks for the suggestion.

I rarely like buffets but theirs is delicious and has a good variety of more authentic indian stuff, including pretty good pakoras and interesting vegetable dishes. <br />Oh no, now I sound like I work there. I really don&#39;t. Just like your blog and went to La Playa at your suggestion recently and can&#39;t believe I hadn&#39;t found that place till now. It&#39;s actually walking distance from my home!<br />Oh yeah about the pakoras, I&#39;m indian so I miss the real stuff. Your pakoras certainly look pretty damn perfect!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
